Sr. League Wildcard Play In: Giants @ Pirates

Argh matey, them scurvy dogs of the Steel City be makin’ a post season appearance agin fer the first time since last year’s Division Series, but ‘twer a long score of years before that where they couldn’t even post a winning record.

The Giants on the other hand were the first team in New York,  but left the same year as the Dodgers (1957) and have thus earned the emnity of every Sr. League fan (there are some of us) in the Tri-State area for eternity.

So it be easy to see, even with but a single eye, who I be rootin’ fer.

The Giants will be sending up Madison Bumgarner (L, 18 – 10, 2.98 ERA).  The Pirates will counter with Edinson Volquez (R, 13 – 7, 3.04 ERA).

The game will be broadcast at 8 pm on ESPN.
